Mr. Mark O'Mahony:

We have not yet. We have not yet reached full operational strength. We are going to look at that when we have an idea of our workload and our proper level of resourcing. The Senator is absolutely right that there needs to be targets and that we need to be held to a standard. We are not, however, in a position to put a date on it yet. The reality is that ultimately we will have a classification of appeals whereby, for example, a simple appeal should be closed off by the commission on average within X number of months, a medium complexity appeal within 2X months and a very complex appeal within two years - to pick a figure at random. We accept that there have to be targets, which we are actively considering.
